Yeah, I know what you are going to say and I've got a whole lot, but who cares, it is pretty and flies nice.

M 0.92 in the descent no problem. I heard the engines were very slow to start, & smoked so much they caused IFR conditions at the field. :D

But I would've loved to fly it. :)

L1011 FO.... what a job that must have been. DC-10 FO as well.

Trying to find that DAL 747 image from Air Line Pilot magazine. That was nice.

Saw quite a few of these old birds, in Delta paint, while performing touch-and-go's in KVCV yesterday. Quite the collection of old Delta airplanes, getting some sun in the high desert of California.

Why were you doing touch and go's in VCV? What's coming back?

Hey guys,

I need some bidding help. I bid reserve for Feb to take a break. I haven't done it in so long that I can't remember some of the basics. I'm trying to move a couple of x days but can't get it to accept. Keep getting a message that says its an invalid date but both days are in Feb and I'm trying to figure out why it won't go through. Any of you reserve superstars help a brother out? Thanks!

Buzz that got me last month while panicking to move days at last minute! I was trying the PCS for the wrong month..... Hope your issue is as simple as that!

Anyone know where the contract language is for short call buckets? I know it was in a Letter of Agreement but can't find it on Alpa's website.

Thanks.
